BOTTLE-PACKING.

'Be it known that I, BENJAMIN' KocHs, a c ltizen 0f the United States ofAmerica, residing in the city of St Louis and State of Missouri, haveinvented certain new and description, reference being had to theaccompanying drawing, specification.

My inventionrelates to a packing for the protection of bottles whenplaced in shipping cases for trans ortation and it has for its obJect tofurnis a simple eiiicient and inexpensive packing of this description.

Figure I is a perspective view of my packing w1th a bottle incasedthereby. Fig. II 1s a perspective view of one section of the packing.Fig. III .is a vertical section taken through the lower portion of thepacking applied to a bottle. Fig. IV is a cross section taken throughthe packing.

In the accompanying drawings: A designates the sections of my packingwhich are constructed of sheet material and preferably of thin wood orveneer sheets. Each section A 1s a counterpart of the other sectionwhich 1s adapted to make their width for the'pur-. pose of completingthe packing in order that it will surround the walls ofthe bottle forthe protection thereof and also extend beneath the bottom of the bottlefor the protection of such bottom. Each section comprises a pair of sidewall members l that occupy positions at angles to each other and also abottom member 2- that is carried, by one of the side wall members ardextends at an an le to said member from its lower end but is ee ofconnection to the -other side wall member. The bottom member is roducedby ori inally making the section with what is to e one of its side wallmembers longer than thel other and adjoining member in order that thebottom member may be bent into a position atan angle to the sidewallmember b which it is carried, as seen in Fig'l I Throughout the sidewall and bottom members o each section are formedcircular`convexo-concave beads or bosses 4 that are roduced by bulgingthe material of the s eet Speccation of Letters Patent.

from which the section is formed in an outward direction at the point'ofeach bead or boss, the object in producing these beads or bosses atintervals throughout the members of the sections being to furnishcushioning action in the packing members when they are in position toincase a bottle that is tobe protected by vthe pack'in The beads. or`

bosses have a quincuncia or staggered arrangement.

In applying the packing to a bottle the sections A are mated togetheraround the b'ottle so that the edges of the side wall members of thesections abut against each other, as seen in Fig. I, and the bottommembers of the sections occupy overlappin positions beneath the bottomof the bott e, as seen in Fig. III, where they aiiord double rotectionagainst injury to the bottom of t e bottle, due to the provision of adouble cushion produced in the two bottom members, the convexities ofthe beads or bosses ofthe inner bottom member fitting or seating in theconcavities of the beads or bosses of the outer bottom member.

I claim:
